For the function, we went down to schlitterbahn.A good time was had by all. I even saw a lady withtattooed on her chest. it was pretty awesome.

Then we walked around the strand, and I stayed back and shopped a little bit,picked up the gf's favorite licorice from la kings and took some pictures, here is what I got.I have absolutely no real idea or understanding of what is going on in this stencil..-Michael

I have been watching the kidrobot munny craze thats been happening in awe.There are alot of really talented artists pumping out some really great toys.I can't wait to take it to the next level and start making my own toys and models from scratch.Anyways, here is my first Munny. The theme came from a sketch I drew for my buddy keef. I want to take it further, but I have hit a roadblock with where to take it next.

As far as this one goes, I definitely learned alot. First off this is acrylic, and I was frustrated with the appearance of brush strokes. For my next munny I will water down and thin out the acrylics and see if that gives me a more smooth professional touch.I also begun on a tuesday and got to this point by a thursday, spending time working on it while at the job. I think I could have benefited from taping off, spending more time on it The eyes frustrated me because I painted over a stencil, and I am not very good at being as precise as I would like.Note.. I Need to finish the hairline in the back.Overall I feel pretty positively about this whole experience. I can't wait to come up with my idea for the next one. I am planning on coming up with my own customized stencil mixing skulls and the louis vuitton print. I'll post anything else I do with this munny here soon.He needs a name.. suggestions?

P.S. - The Original Sketch for inspiration.This is generally what I am ging to be working towards.

Let me begin at the beginning.The past few months I have really felt my work taking off.My current aspiration is to do commercial graphic design/ character design/ illustration.At my current job, working at an outpatient adolescent rehab facility I get to play halo, paint, sketch, cut stencils, work on my munny while catching those dollar dollar billz.
